10 Things Hollywood Needs To Stop Doing (But Never Will)

1. Stop Making Sequels, Prequels & Reboots

Once again, I know why Hollywood continuously holds onto their moneymaking franchises (it would actually be stupid for them not to), but it still results in a lower quality product. There are actually some series: Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman and a few others, that are episodic in nature and feature an expansive enough mythology to benefit from periodic reinvention. However, we don't need to see an Identity Thief 2 just because the first one has made 100 million dollars at the box office. Box office hits such as Taken don't need to be made into forced sequels and some movies, such as the in development Finding Nemo 2, just don't need to be messed with (although in this case I hope I'm wrong). The demand for sequels, remakes and prequels drives Hollywood to devote most of the resources, both financially and creatively, to movies that at best are going to be above average. Again, this makes sense from a business standpoint as they are almost always lucrative, but it still doesn't make me feel better when a third sequel to Taken is announced, despite horrid reviews on the second, while some of the greatest filmmakers alive have to spend years scraping for funding on their projects.
